How virtual terminals work

A virtual terminal is the web version of a physical credit card terminal or Point-of-Sale (POS) machine. It's a software application, which is hosted online, usually on the service provider’s servers. It can be conveniently accessed from any internet-connected web browser.

Virtual terminals let you input your customer’s card information straight into an online payment form, which can then be used to process an electronic transaction. Even businesses that accept face-to-face payments will still process these through a virtual terminal to avoid the cost of a card swipe terminal.
